💖 vmw_surface_get_serialized_size(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for vmw_surface_get_serialized_size — the function whose entire vibe is literally Get the serialized size for the image. no cap. The signature returns a u32, and honestly the source manpage is giving blank-stare energy for the arguments: every single one is -- undescribed --. We are not inventing lore, so the facts stay exactly as written. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_surface_get_serialized_size — Get the serialized size for the image.
